[i]The Every Dawn[/i] jumped into the Utopia System, and drifted gracefully towards Arcadia. It's crimson and white hull cutting through the black sea.

Now armed and armoured, Kaelyn nodded at her team and headed up to the bridge. Captain Maurrinus had just finished on the comm. He didn't turn to face her when she walked in, and his co-pilot, Davids, was too focused on something on his monitor. He started listing off names; "SSV Pinnacle, SSV Sweeping Cry, SSV Yesterday -" he was cut off by Maurrinus, [b]"I get the picture, Davids, how many?"[/b]
Davids was silent for a second, "16, of varying size. From dreadnaught to cutter." 
[color=violet]"We need to know why an enemy would send a fleet to Arcadia."[/color] Kaelyn spoke up. Maurrinus laughed
[b]"It's not a fleet, Kaelyn. It's one damned ship! A Reaper. I was part of the battle for the citadel, it took the combined forces of the Alliance to take it down. I didn't want to believe the message... I didn't want to believe Shepard when he said it."[/b]

The comm crackled into life; "Arcadia, this is Lady Luck, is anyone hearing me?" 
[i]Lady Luck[/i]? She didn't know the ship, but she knew that voice... [color=violet]"Davids, get us a link."[/color]

Another message popped through, "This is a general alert to anyone heading to Arcadia. A Reaper has touched down on the planet proper. No idea if more are coming or not. No idea if anyone is even alive there anymore. Me and a few other ships are already en route to the planet,  and we are unable to change course at this time. If you can hear me, either tell me what's so important on that planet, or we are running. Somebody please respond, I don't intend on dying for nothing."

[color=violet]"William, you bastard. How did you get a ship? Never mind, The Every Dawn is in system, and we need to come up with a plan. Never mind [i]tell me what's so important[/i], if Admiral Hackett himself asked for it, it must be important. Who have you got with you?"[/color]
